LEGO 76171 Super Heroes Miles Morales Mech Armour

Product Information

The torso can accommodate one minifigure, although accessing this driving position is quite difficult because the aforementioned 2x3 pentagonal tile restricts motion of the entire forward panel. Furthermore, the shoulder position seems unnatural, set behind the centre of the torso. Exactly the same structure appeared before but was disguised by bulkier shoulder armour on those occasions. So this is less "let's make up a mech since we don't have any other ideas for what to do with these characters" and more "since kids love both superheroes and mechs so much, let's create some sets based around the concept of what mechs for these popular superhero characters might look like". That design appears somewhat awkward under certain circumstances, particularly since the arms seem exceedingly long. However, omitting bulky armour allows unrestricted articulation which is fantastic for Miles Morales, whose extraordinary agility is arguably his greatest asset. An amazing selection of poses can therefore be created, capturing the character in action.

One of Miles Morales' powers which differs from Peter Parker's is an abiliity called a "venom strike" which lets him channel bio-electric energy through his gloves and/or webs. This set seems to use Tr. Light Blue for his webs to signify these electrical powers being channeled through them.

The Completed Model

Any young superhero will love the LEGO® Spider-Man Miles Morales Mech Armor (76171). Featuring alternative Spider-Man Miles Morales and his buildable mech with extra-long electro-web, the hands-on imaginative play will never end.

LEGO® components meet stringent industry standards that ensure they are consistent, compatible and connect and pull apart perfectly every time – it’s been that way since 1958. Does Miles Morales actually have a mech in the comics? I didn't think he used stuff like that but my Marvel knowledge is limited to the Marvel vs. Capcom series. In the future, it would be awesome if LEGO released a mech like this for Spider-Gwen/Ghost Spider — it would be nice to have sets like this with some female heroes and villains, and her color scheme would stand out nicely from the other Marvel mechs (from both the Spider-Verse and Avengers categories) without necessarily requiring requiring any brand-new recolors. Overall, I am really impressed with these mechs in general on account of their articulation and value-for-money. It's awesome to see Miles getting his own mech, since previously we'd only seen them for more "old-school" Marvel heroes and villains. Not only does this reflect how popular Miles Morales has become since his introduction (and especially since his starring roles in recent Spider-Man movies and video games), but it also opens the door for a much wider range of characters who could be candidates for this type of set in the future. For more building fun, the free LEGO® Building Instructions app includes digital Instructions PLUS, which allows kids to zoom, rotate and visualize their playset as they build.I think you're sort of looking at this from the wrong perspective — LEGO has released several Marvel hero and villain mechs like this one which aren't based on anything those characters have piloted in their previous appearances, and a lot of the characters who have been in those sets are ones like Iron Man, Captain America, and Spider-Man (Peter Parker) who show up extremely frequently in other Marvel sets. As anticipated, the exclusive Miles Morales minifigure is the highlight of 76171 Miles Morales Mech Armour. His unique Spider-Man suit looks marvellous and differs significantly from past depictions of the same character. The consistent design features between that minifigure and the mech are appealing too, particularly where their colour schemes are concerned. An exciting and endlessly entertaining birthday, holiday or just-because gift for budding superheroes aged 7 and up. This durable building toy stands over 4 in. (12 cm) tall, making it perfect for hands-on roleplay. And, when the action stops, it looks super-cool on display in any kid’s room.
